LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
CARE FOR THEIR GRAVES.

CARE FOR THEIR GRAVES.
 Editor of Ne,cs:-
 was glad to notice in your issue of July 18th that somebody feels iuteres- ted in the "Lower Cemetery" and earnestly suggests that parties owning lots and having friends and relatives buried there, would spend little time in putting the lots in good order, and generally improving the yard. There is truly great negligence in this regard. Our respect for the memory of departed friends is measured to great extent by the care and attention bestowed upon their graves. Recently quite number who own lots on the west side, (the most beautiful and attractive part of the yard) have realized the importance of i'm provement, and set an example worthy of imitation. Why will not the remain der go and do likewise" and each one for himself see to 1t that better taste and order should prevail. Delay no longer, but begin at once, and when your task is completed, you will rejoice in the s' fruit of your labors," and feel amply rewarded.

GARDEN PARTY AND CONCERT AT ATWOOD.
 "Bywood," the summer home of Mr. c. Witter, presented last Saturday after noon an unusual appearance of gaiety and animation, the occasion being gar den party, with the attractive feature of a concert by the accomplished Diller cornet octet from New York city.
 Invited guests to the number of nearly one hundred came to listen and enjoy. The intention was for the musicians to occupy the summer house and for the guests to hear the music from the lawn, but heavy rains descending through the day made necessary change of plan. Accordingly preparations were made to receive the party within-doors and upon the broad piazzas. The music began at about half-past two with the Wedding March from Lohengrin, the performers occupying part of the southwest pi- aga, with many of the guests seated up- on the south and east piazzas in full view of the picturesque lake with its romantic surroundings of mountains, valleys, groves and villas. The spacious rooms were comfortably filled with ladies and gentlemen who had braved the storm, and who were keenly alive to the exquis- ite beauties of the music to which they listened. The players were ln good hu- nor, and kindly responded to repeated encores The feelings inspired by the playing of these unrivalled artists can- not be described. They must be heard to be appreciated. All the numbers were enjoyed, but particular mention may be made of Rubenstein's Melodie and Schubert's Serenade as especially pleasing to the listeners. At the request of many of the audience Herr Theodor Hoch, solo-cornetist, exhibited his cor net, which is of peculiar beauty, being of silver, plated with gold, adorned with costly engraving and precious stones.
 After supper, which was served at the close of the musical programme, the guests resolved themselves into social gathering, principal topic of conver, sation being the pleasure afforded by the music and how thoroughly they appre. ciated the hospitality of their gentle manly host and his accomplished wife, in preparing for their friends such de. ightful entertainment.
 Among the guests from out of town were MT. and Mrs. Eastmead, of Pough. keepsie, Miss Andrews and Miss Day, o1 Hartford, and Miss Parsons, who came with Gov. and Mrs. A. H. Holley, Miss Harrison and Miss Flagg who came with MT. James Ross Harrison, Miss Johnson aud Miss Rose Johnson, of Hartford, who came with Dr. and Mrs. George Knight, Mr. Carl Stoeckel and Mr. Ed. word Swift, of Norfolk.
 Mrs. Joseph Wllby, of Cincinnati, and Mir. and Mrs. W. H. Kenyon, of New York, visiting with MT. and Mrs. Witter, aided in receiving the guests.

Judgment of all people who visit Wichita
and get away without catching the real
estate craze 1t is possible, however, that
the crazy people are not SO crazy as they
act
The Wichita boom was started by Col
NJ. N. Murdoch and his paper, the EAGLE.
He worked the Associated Press, filling
the papers of the country every morning
with something about Wichita. The at
tention of the world was attracted to
Wichita, and when the people came to
look ut the place they read more about
the boom in the EAGLE The bus
mess men caught on and crowded the
EAGLE with advertisements. paying liberal
prices, and directing Col. Murdoch to leave
them out as often as he liked and fill the
space with booms about Wichita. not for
getting to send the bills around regularly
without regard to emissions Thus encOur
aged, the EAGLE was able to laugh at for
eign advertisers who wanted top of column

the EAGLE doomed making the proprietor
rich. The EAGLE now occupies a three
story marble front office Of its own.
The editors sanctum is in the
third story, and was fitted up with
Wilton carpet, velvet chairs, rich cur
tains, pictures, elegant chandeliers frcseo-
ing, etc, etc.. by grateful citizens who ap-
preciate what the paper has done for the

boom once started was taken up by the
people who filled themselves up with
pluck and wind and went to work
to help the EAGLE and its editor. What
Murdoch could not think of, the people
suggested. and thus the boom gathered
force. We point to Wichita's boom as an
example for Atchison to follow. All the
people here lack is pluck and unanimiiy of
feeling No wind is necessary. nor is 1t
wanted. If Atchison with her $50. OOO, GOO

MUNICIPAL WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
A wlfe's Sensible Views and Conclusion.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
STERLING, Kan, Feb. "a, 1887.
In reading your late editorials regarding
female municipal suffrage have an ire
sistable desire to thank you for your noble
defense of the views of three-fourths the
women of Kansas, as we'll as for the gener-
Gus, gentle way in which our misguided
sisters are treated by you. Of course there
is no question of woman's ability to vote
discreelly. but we can much better aid
men, in wise and laudable decisions at the
polls, by remaining in our proper sphere
and welding from there our influence than
unsexing ourselves by appearing at such
places, and robbing the name-woman-of
the lcredness attaching to it.
We trust, in behalf Of all, that the EAGLE
will sustain its course, and not be made to
falter by the judicions use Of flowers and
tiattery, SO soothing to some august Kaw-
ans, and it will, in the end. win the pluad
its of all Hastily and admiringly.
